When I saw that first picture, I was actually trying to figure out if that was a male or female... I ended up right clicking the image, getting the URL and looking at the file name and then wikipedia'd her.

I've got a tonne of profoundly deaf relatives. My grandmother was profoundly deaf, her daughter, my cousins. All small "d".

They don't even sign. Make do with lip reading .

My cousin has even committed the Outrageous Sin of having cochlear implants.

Wow. So it's genetic in your case. I'm the only deaf person in my family. I sign SEE, ASL, BSL, NZSL and Auslan (thanks to my Aussie friend in Canberra who taught me some Auslan!) And I guess you could say that I've committed the Outrageous Sin as well, though I don't use it anymore.

Lies. I heard that you assume that position all the time in ABQ backrooms

They don't have backroom's in this town, if they do, I never heard of any, and we've been here for 10 yrs.now I heard of "The Glory Holes" in S.F. but, I've never been there before, always had a BF for that type of stuff

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I am a bad gayboy too... I don't like the diva genre of music. That's why I don't go to gay bars, the music really sucks. Seriously. One time I was kicked out of a local bar in ABQ for putting a bunch o' quarters in the jukebox and playing non drag queen music. You know, lAerosmith, AC/DC, Concrete Blonde. The barwench pulled the plug out of the socket because she didn't like the music. It wasn't "inspirational" apparently. I was asked not to play "that shit" ever again while she was working. So you know I had to do it .

Fuck the divas and their awful music. Give me a head full of 'shrooms and Pretty Hate Machine in the CD player.....

And that's one of the many reasons why I hearts u.

A diva to a fag doesn't need need to be one of standard and cliche screaming banshees. I am a House head and love me so Ultra Nate, Crystal Waters, Adeva, Robin S, etc. When it comes to Cher, Celine, and the more typical pedestrian fare for the average queen I can only take some of their tunes (the MK remix of Dion's "Misled" is simply fabulous). Still, my real definition of a diva is someone who moves you with their vocal prowess. Billie Holiday, Tori, Stevie, Lena Horne, Bjork, PJ Harvey, and a few others are the ones for me. That doesn't mean I have posters of them or that I walk around the house dressed in my favorite white swan tutu or a bunch of gypsy veils; their music gets me going and that's just it.

If a Diva can have a dick, then I do like one. Prince. Let's see if he stacks up shall we?High maintenance, flamboyant, egotistical, eccentric, grossly narccissitic, flaky, and convinced of their own divinity. Looks like all bases are covered.

In the negative column we have the fact that he writes all his own music, plays a variety of instruments, as well as does his own recording. Real divas are capable of no such thing. They merely get up there and sing while others handle the creative end. Hence the difference between a Musician and a Recording "Artist"
